uninterrupted succession of vehicles, proceed

-sometimes ho-ppeihs thut the whole procession
is brought to a stand -sli'l'liy nothing more than

driving, meets nn acquaintance on loot, he
must necessarily dismount from his carriage,
Cot the weather orlhe dirt he what it may, in
quire after his friend's health, and invite him
to enter the equipage. The pedestrian is, of
course, equally 'bound 'to rociprocate the in
quiries, and to entreat the iiptto ptrrsfie his
way. The owner of fit's carriage, however,
will not et iii.to it till the walker has passed
un, anil he, on his part, cannot think of paasbog
on, till the other has got in. Ti.is ceremony
will sometimes ooccpy half an hour, and if the

There is hardly any fruit which can be more

The following, from the .ov Orleatii I'ica
jiine, is a ri good UMh m the story nrd the mo
ral as though it hud oomo from .I'.sop himself:
1'tir tnnn thnt Ike 4 rig harhrd ol.
A H-w- days ago, t ootM-ed a man walking
along one of our prinripal Greets, r. hose ap
pearance indie it-rd that he was 'in a peck of
troubles.' lie looked cross enouirh to bite a
tenpenny nail in two ; something very serious
had disturbed his equanimity. While we were
wondering w hat it eoeld hr.ve been whether
or ;:ot he had tailed in business, or lost money
hy somebody else who bid failed whether or
not his wile had eloped with his best friend, all
formed a strange problem. The face of mat
ters wonderfully changed by .quite a pimple in
cident. We had not absolutely (Iterinined in
out own mind the nature of Ins grievances,
when nn impudent little terrier, squatted upon
the side walk, discovered something offensive
in the appearance of the man to whom we have
alliiik'd, imd jnmpd towaids hrrs with a sharp
and angry bark. This was altogether too irreat
an indignity, and tilled the cup of our traveller's
annoyance to overflowing. He turned fiercely
towards the dog, and while he insulted him
with a blunt oath, attempted to kick him. The
cur was altogether ton nimble, and as heleap
cd asdetn avoid tho pnn-ishmrut he had earned
barked more furiously than before. The man's
anger knew no bounds; the more the dog bark
ed at him, the more anxious ho seemed to be to
succeed in kick mg him. The figure they cm,
as the terrier capered into the middle of the
street, the man after him, the dog yelping, and
h.s antagonist swearing louder and louder, was
ludicrous in the extreme.
People jrnthered upon t!i side walk in
crowds. The ladies looked 'on and giggled ;
the men braced themselves against the wall
and shooli iheiT sides bravely; and the loys
yelled out in greet delight, 'go it, old fellow,
go it while you're yonng. The tr.an who Was
making so laughable nn exhibition of himself
soon discovered that the dog was altogether tw
agile for him, and gave np the chase in despair.
It was not -until then he -ebscrved -that in his
anger he hud made a find of himself, lie hasti
ly drew down his hat over his brow, nnd walk
oil rapidly away. When our merriment had
subsided, we could not help thinking how much
this little incident resembled human life; that
is, the lite ot many specimens of humanity. If
the man whose story we have told had only
walked quietly en bis way, and taken no notice
of the outcry of the cur, no matter whether the
cur was governed by wanton or mulicious mo
tives, he would have excited by his conduct
neither langhter in others, or diminished his
own self respect. So in a thousand things in
life. He who pursues his own pari: fearlessly
and calmly, wr.hout heeding the puerile ai
sautts olthose who cannoi'by any possibility af
fect his destines, will act a part dictated by good
sense and wisdom. 'Tis passing strange, that
in a lite so brief as this, fcben it is in the power
of each one to add to the other's enjoy merit,
there should be so many curs. The business

but keeps Irt-insches in 'a perfect slew,' by no
means conducive to comfort. The true way to
